Naples--Pompeii--Positano--Capri

After we left Rome, we stayed in Naples for the next three days and were able to visit a few incredible places!

Naples wasn't EXACTLY what we expected but we definitely found the right places to go... eventually...


Some entertainment on the train




Naples...lol.




Famous pizzeria in Naples, brick oven pizza; actually in the movie Eat. Pray. Love. My pizza was 3 euro. A win win win all around!








This is Grandpa; Alexa and I bought a bottle of wine from him each night. We love and miss him dearly. On our last night in Naples we had to open a bottle of wine and cheers to meeting him!




And we had to introduce everyone else to Grandpa too!!




POMPEII 

Mount Vesuvius was the volcano that erupted in 79 a.d, leaving aPompeii in ruins. 








What is left of Pompeii is amazing.











When the arena was filled with people, the speaker had to shout closely to these steps to produce an echo so that everyone could hear them... So naturally I wanted to try it out :)




POSITANO












This is considered a beach in Italy-- It wasn't exactly as comfortable as the soft sand at home though


















CAPRI


We took a 2 hour private boat ride around the island, and then explored the town. I wish I could say I edited these pics to make the water so blue, but I didn't touch them!!










A little bit of R&R never hurt anyone :)


































Had to take a pic of this sign; my roommates call me Donna (how foreigners pronounce my name), so I thought of my twinny Rachel and I :)

Magic in Medellin

Image
The weekend that past was a holiday here, Fiestas de Quito, and while everyone celebrated their traditions here, playing Cuarenta (a super competitive card game), eating hornado (pork) a traditional dish accompanied with avocado, mote (which is in the corn family), and llapingachos (potatoes), I flew to Colombia. Colombia is a place that people are afraid of. Many people think of Colombia as a place that still holds the reputation it had in the past, especially in the city I was in, Medellin. The truth is that it is a place that has clearly come a very long way from crime and drugs--not to say it doesn't exist--but I didn't feel threatened by either in the time I was there. The highlights of my trip (which was the whole trip) included exploring the metro from Poblado to Parque Arví, touring Guatapé (a giant rock about 2 hours from Medellin), Comuna 13 (a famous sector in Medellin), Candle Night (a religious celebration through the city), and seeing Parque Botero.  ...

Introduction to Venezuela: Week 1

Image
Hello World! I know there are so many people wondering what in the world I'm doing in South America. Well, I made a promise to myself after I studied abroad that, before I "settle down", I will teach abroad.  So... Because of my unbelievably supportive boyfriend Seth and my family who are worried every minute of the day--and I'm sure even in the middle of the night, I have taken a 5th grade teaching position at Escuela Bella Vista (EBV), an IB American school in Maracaibo, Venezuela. In the middle of my first year of teaching as an ESOL teacher, I applied to all of the international schools that offered positions through my account on ISS. I took this job because of two teachers who have been working at EBV for 5 years. They said three things that made my decision pretty clear:  " Here I actually get to teach , I feel supported in my decisions, and adore working with Ms. Gomez. She is very supportive of our decisions we make as teachers and always open to...
